Business Story
Why this business was started
I am a dedicated vegan/green activist and wanted to create a store which catered to customers looking to shop secure in the knowledge that all of the items in it were sourced and created in a green, vegan, fair trade and eco-friendly manner. (Often you have to check item details one at a time in an online store.) I created the slogan "Shop with a Clear Conscience" to communicate this message in a nutshell!
The reason of selling this business
I run other e-commerce shops and unfortunately have less time to upkeep this shop now, which is why I am selling it. It is doing really well but I don't have the time and could really use the extra funds right now to purchase inventory for my other apparel shop. I'd love to do it all, but to accomplish everything I'd just have to hire more staff which defeats the purpose really. I have been really bad at posting on social media, so ramping up posting on those channels would really boost business!
What's involved in running this business
In order to generate traffic, as with all stores, you will need to place some ads. I have been using Google, Facebook and Microsoft Advertising. I use the Shopify email app to send emails and I post on Facebook and Instagram.
It would be useful to keep up to date on current trends in green lifestyles in order to source and add products which will be appealing to this market.
I use the Smile rewards program app on Shopify to drive customer loyalty and the Upsell recommendations app to cross and upsell on the website.

Seller‘s Advice
How to grow this business
Advertising on Facebook, Bing and Google have really brought a lot of customers to this shop, as gearing your ads to this target market is really easy to do (advertise to people whose concerns are green living, sustainable lifestyles, veganism, etc.)
Currently it is drop-shipping only, however you could easily purchase inventory and ship from a fulfilment center, if you wanted to scale up. This is what I would have done if I kept the store.
Skills to have
You should have a working knowledge of how to run a Shopify store. Also knowledge of basic marketing practices on Google and Facebook/Instagram and Microsoft Ads. (All of these things can be learnt in a matter of weeks.)

Verified listing data
The revenue and traffic data that you see on each listing is pulled directly from its Shopify account. This means that the data has been verified. Exchange reviews and monitors listings for thorough and accurate information.
Secure messaging platform
You will be able to communicate with sellers via a secure messaging platform. After you log in and request information from a listing, sellers are notified and have the ability to respond. When you are ready, you can make an offer.
Encrypted payment capture
Exchange and Escrow.com have partnered together to provide you with safe transactions that have bank encryption, making sure that payment is securely captured. Escrow.com ensures that its users pass verification checks before transactions can proceed.
Take time to inspect the business
Once you submit payment to Escrow.com and the payment has been secured, the funds are held until you confirm that all assets received are as negotiated. You can use the inspection period to ask the seller any extra questions about the business.
Safe store transfer
When the transaction is finalized, the dedicated migration team at Exchange will begin the process of making you the new owner of the store. Buyers and sellers will be notified via an email from the Exchange team once store transfers have been completed.
